Pregnancy gets 9 months of attention. Labor gets a hospital stay. Postpartum gets one 15 minute checkup at 6 weeks.
But postpartum is the longest medical event of your life. Your hormones don't return to baseline for at least 6 months (longer if you are BF). Your pelvic floor takes a year (at least). Your bone density takes longer. Your brain is remodeling itself for years. You're metabolically recovering for as long as you breastfeed.
We have completely undercounted what this season actually is. And too many women are doing it all alone.
BREAKING: I just signed the bill to extend postpartum coverage for Wisconsin moms from a lousy 60 days to one full year after giving birth.
I promised I'd never stop fighting to make sure moms and babies had the postpartum care they need, and today, I delivered on that promise.
It’s time that Texans start bragging about Braum’s instead of Whataburger..
Straight up grocery store/ice cream/breakfast/burger joint. They literally do it all!
If you’ve never had their crispy chicken sandwich with a shake.. you ain’t LIVED
I would have laughed my ass off tbh.
But Eli being awake for almost 48 hours, he DEFINITELY would have thought he was hallucinating and it still would have been funny 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine being an exhausted mother in pain after labor or the father just surviving in the chair on no sleep and a giant pop tart mascot walks in. Fever dream.
